New AHP Version 3.236

[Puck]

It appears there are some of us who recently (re)installed AHP and now have Version 3.236.

For those that are now running this newer version:

If you were a previous AHP user (Version 3.228 on down) please use this thread to post any differences that you see with 3.236.

or

If you are new to AHP please post what plug-ins (if any) you have, and any GUI issues.



To start with, I have all the plug-ins. I notice that the "VA11A not available" warning screen no longer appears on start-up, which occurred regularly since I do not have one on this PC (+ 1)

IS there any difference between 3.228 and 3.236 or is 3.236 a version with all or one plug-in?

BTW the Active Home Pro Software History is useless now as it (1) stops with 3.204 and (2) makes no mention of 3.206 or anything past 3.204.

The link is useless.  It points to the same old X10 Software page that makes no mention of Active Home Pro.

Hi Dan

yes same old Link, but I wanted to point out the area where I have Highlighted in yellow.SO you can see.
its a 1MB file, THAT'S the NEW Version dated September 5, 2008, the one we are talking about. Others can give more info on file sizes and such on past Ver. upgrades of AHP. I just had upgraded the same version with this one and still looking to see the difference in them. It was a WAY for those looking to upgrade to Ver 3.236.!!

It looks like an Upgrade for the VA11A, of which is still not working for me. Vista NO mention, Still working on it in XP.sp3

BaBaLou: Thanks for the pointing out that the download page shows the new version is related to the iWatchout plug-in.

I'm still confused how you got AHP version 3.236.
The latest one I have 3.228, and the software won't find a newer one when I click "Check Update"

It is probably grabbing this new update during a new (re)install. My second PC doesn't state a new update either and is still at 3.228.

Well, I called X10, and asked about this. The lady on the phone didn't know why my software wasn't pulling the update, but she was able to e-mail me the file.
I installed it on my "test" system, with no issues. I didn't notice any differences initially, but I didn't have time to compare 3.236 (on my test system) with 3.228 (on my production system). I'm curious to know what the differences are, and what changes they made from 3.228 to 3.236.

Thanks Puck, the update file from the site was applied to the new install updated file and now the VA11A after reboot is working normal. Nothing else of notice in updated version so far.

FYI,
the original install with the VA11A not working was not the error of update but instead had a major interference coming from 3 Logitech Cordless Wingman gamepads for the computers in the same room as the AHP system computer. Upon disconnecting all the gamepads the signal came in from both X2 cams as well as the Astek cams using the Astek Receiver plugged into the VA11A. Just a note.
Down side, need to keep kids happy so Wired gamepads on the list. Try to push this one off till Christmas, but doubt it.

I'm running 3.236, but it's my firstis and onlyist version I've run, so I can't give you any differences.

I loaded it Sept 3.

Well I haven't noticed a difference but have a strong suspicion that it may work better with the VA12A. This of course is just based on "hearsay", however.  Maybe when the VA12A is "released" I'll have a better idea.

My bubble is burst.  I have version 3.228 and there appears to be NO WAY to locate (let alone download) any version 3.236.  AHP's "check for update" always says version 3.228 is the latest and there doesn't appear to be anything at the software download center other than updated 3.236 drivers.  And of course the software history page died a slow death many moons ago.

If anyone has a reliable download link to 3.236 or some way for AHP to activate the update, please post here.  I'm beginning to think this is a hoax.
